“When
scientific research, spiritual practice and artistic expression work
together, heaven and earth are in resonance. This is the vibratory promise
which is the gift of our Universe.” –

Fabien
Maman

Within
each cell of our body is written the Divine Story. Within the Heart of our
Soul is the blueprint of our DNA. This is the spiritual work of the Coming
Age: Bio-Spiritual Cosmology – where biology, physics and cosmology open
to the “Way of the Soul” and where spirituality finds its roots grounded
in physical reality. The key that links these is vibration, and leading
the way in this field is French musician/composer, acupuncturist,
researcher and bio-energetician, Fabien Maman. For nearly 30 years, Maman
has created research and practical applications using Sound, Color and
Movement® to balance the body, mind and spirit through the subtle energy
fields (auras). In 1977, he created the now famous system, which uses
tuning forks instead of needles on acupuncture command points. In the
early ‘80s, Fabien Maman conducted biology experiments at the University
of Jussieu in Paris, showing the impacts of acoustic sound on human cells
and their energy fields. What he found was that through a series of
acoustic sounds, cancer cells would explode and healthy ones would become
energized and empowered. Using a Kirlian camera, Maman was able to
document what happens to the energy fields of healthy human cells when
exposed to a chromatic scale of sound frequencies. To his amazement he
discovered that the color and shape of each cell and its subtle energy
fields changed according to the pitch and timbre of each musical note. He
also discovered that when the cell felt a ‘vibratory affinity’ with a
certain note, the cell’s aura would transform into a mandala shape with
vibrant colors of pinks and blues. Maman concluded this was the cell’s
‘fundamental note’, and if the person ‘tuned’ with it, harmony could be
achieved within the cells, the energy field of the person and the outside
world. Shortly after this research, Maman met French physicist Joel
Sternheimer, who discovered the vibratory frequency of elementary
particles. Long before the “string theory”, Sternheimer was transposing
certain molecular structures into musical patterns, creating “the music of
the molecules.” Like Maman’s cellular research, Sternheimer found that if
there was a problem in an organic structure, the molecules of that
structure did not vibrate, but if they heard the string of notes they
recognized as their tune, they began to vibrate again. Inspired, Maman
began to deepen his research: If physical cells and their energy fields
can recognize and respond favorably to vibration, is it possible, that
they have consciousness? What is the link between cells and the Soul? Is
it possible that vibration is the key? Maman became fascinated with the
theory that blockages in our subtle energy fields can result in physical
imbalance if they are allowed to crystallize, and sound, color and
movement are the most effective tools we can use to dissolve these
negative energetic patterns. Once our energy fields are clear, we can link
with the original plan of our Soul. Bio-Spiritual Cosmology-sound
penetrating the cells and reaching to the stars-became the life work of
Fabien Maman. In 1988, Maman founded Tama-Do, (“Way of the Soul”),
Academy, to promote the evolution of consciousness through vibration. His
research and practical application of more than 30 techniques using sound,
color and Chi movement in the energy fields, are slowly finding their way
to other modalities. His tuning fork techniques and color lights on
acupuncture points are now commonly used. And when tuning forks were not
enough, Maman created magnificent sound instruments to bring us back into
total resonance with the Universe to which we belong. While standing in
the Arche of Sound in the Tama-Do Sound Garden in Malibu, a 13’ high
cathedral of sound with 15 sound tubes, each over 10 feet high, one can
feel the earth and sky energies expanding our awareness. Today, Maman is
exploring new ways to heal and harmonize on a more global level. Returning
to his musical roots, Fabien has developed a system of correspondence
between the elements, meridians, chakras, directions and stars and the
musical key, mode, instrument, rhythm and energy of each season. When
played, these Seasonal Harmonizing Concerts bring human beings, nature and
the cosmos into healing harmony.

Tama-Do: “The
Way of the Soul”:

from
a Human Perspective…

Your
forties are amazing. Most people by now have a career, a spouse, a house,
maybe family…and a couple of cats. And you wake up one morning – and you
no longer recognize the person sleeping next to you in your bed. You go to
work. You can’t believe what you do for a living. Your closest friend
talks on and on. You can’t understand a word. You go to a meeting – you
want to jump up on the table and break into song. What’s wrong with these
people?! Everything around you seems unreal…except for the laughter of
the children...Like a far away call of your former self…..“What’s
happening to me?” you wonder. “Am I going crazy?” According to Tama-Do,
The Academy of Sound, Color and Movement®, you are just waking up. Welcome
to “The Way of the Soul”. Or, as Bette Davis said, ‘Fasten your seatbelts;
you’re in for a bumpy ride!’ It all started long ago, when you were just a
spark in the Divine White Light. Everything was perfect; you embodied
every color of the rainbow; except you just didn’t know it. So your Soul
asks you to wake up. Next thing you know, you’re packing your Akashic
Records and your rainbow colors in your suitcase and jumping on the first
bus to planet Earth. Then you are “densifying down” from pure light into a
human feeding machine. And finally you’re being pushed through the tiniest
little tube in the world! There’s no way you can fit all your Divine Light
through that hole! Your Soul knows this. And still it wants you to
incarne. It knows that the life you choose: the parents, the community and
loved ones, will be all the lessons you will need if ever you are to make
your way Home again…back to the Light. Tama-Do means “The Way of the
Soul”. Your Soul leads the way. It’s your choice whether you follow.
Nobody said it would be easy. At the beginning of life, there doesn’t
seem to be much of a plan. You are just a baby: food goes in and food goes
out. Fabien Maman, Founder of Tama-Do Academy, follows the trace of
Rudolph Steiner, and teaches that every seven years you develop a new
layer to your subtle energy fields (aura). 7-14 you develop your Etheric
Body. It shapes and protects your Physical Body. It also links your
physical body to your subtle energy fields. The Etheric Body is your cell
phone to the Universe. 14-21 you develop your Emotional Body, helping you
to sift and sort through life’s challenges. 21-28 you develop your Mental
Body. You talk for hours to your comrades. You want to save the world.
28-35 begin wondering about your ancestral lineage. Where have you come
from? Where you are going? You start to ask questions about your aunts or
your grandparents…trying to find the link to your self. You re-read your
diaries. You start to wonder if you’ve been here before…. You’re
developing your Causal Body. 35-42, your Buddhic Body links you to the
spiritual world. This is when you are looking down at that person sleeping
next to you. Not only do you not recognize them, but you find yourself
breaking into that old Peggy Lee song, “Is That All There Is?” 42-49 you
develop your Atmic Body. The need to be one with the Source of White Light
becomes more urgent. You are entering a mid-life crisis, and your Soul is
really happy. You are finally asking the Universe for help. Maybe this
time, you will listen. Unfoldment is like the itch deep within your
subconscious that you can’t quite find. Your Soul orchestrates the
process through very precise cycles of nature which are linked with the
larger universal cycles. Each one’s destiny is run by a different timing,
according to one’s temperament, starting at the cellular level and ending
up with the stars. For some, unfoldment starts slow….it’s like a memory
far far away. For others, it’s like a bolt of lightening. Suddenly you
wake up yelling, “I have a mission!” You divorce your spouse, sell the
house, and travel around the world in search of your Path. This is a time
of achingly deep challenge. And your Soul is the Zen Master. You’ve spent
40-some years building your identity on a human level: your mental,
emotional and physical habits, your relationships with community, loved
ones and family… Your Soul now demands that you break from all that you
know, if what you know, does not align with your Path…. This is
unbelievably difficult to hear. It’s like an earthquake, shattering your
entire structure of life, as well as a whole palette of beliefs inherited
from your education, religion and culture. It’s like experiencing a
death. First there is shock, disbelief and anger. You may try to bargain
and negotiate. Then there’s despair, and finally, grief. You’re as
fragile as a newborn babe, trying to make your way through what seems like
impossible darkness. How do I synchronize with my destiny? What is my
destiny? How do I access who I am? How do I reconcile my mission with my
family and loved ones? What do I do if they can’t follow? You feel
completely alone. The waves of disbelief, anger and despair wash over you
again and again….it’s all part of the process. Be patient. You can’t force
enlightenment. And as annoying as it sounds, you cannot control the
process. Forgive yourself, but do not give up. Keep asking your Soul for
guidance. Your Soul is the rainbow between heaven and earth. Your Soul is
Divine Light. If at any time during this test, you cannot continue, she
will simply withdraw and wait for another day. Your Soul has the infinite
patience and love of eternity. Fabien Maman says that within each cell of
our body is written the divine story; and within the heart of our Soul is
the blueprint of our DNA. Cells and Soul are linked by our energy fields
and this intermediary is the real key to our existence. Unlock the
memories in your energy fields, and you will find your way Home again. For
nearly 30 years Maman has created research and practical applications
using Sound, Color and Movement® to incarne your Soul in your daily life.
First you will feel a resonance on the cellular level; then within your
psyche, and finally within your whole Central Axis from Earth to Sky. Your
whole life is suddenly articulated by your mission. You are finally at
peace with your Path. This takes consciousness ….daily practice… and
listening. You walk down the street and a bird begins to sing…a golden ray
of sunlight washes the sky. Your neck tingles in recognition as the air
around you is suddenly bathed in pink…. “I know this pink!” you find
yourself saying. “I am this pink!” A soft breeze kisses your cheek… You
start to remember…. We watch the stranger asleep in our bed; the friend
endlessly talking; the people sitting around you in the meeting – and we
are suddenly filled with love. We are grateful to all these strangers who
helped to get us to where we are today on our Path. Perhaps it is the end
of all that we know…but it is an awakening to a new beginning. We are all
linked on some level. Maman says, “We are all star dust – we are all part
of the universe. Knowing the universe will help us to know our Soul; and
knowing our Soul will lead us on a wonderful journey back Home. This is
Tama-Do – The Way of the Soul.”
